The pay, whether it's in-season or not is like many occupations. Many of us have to hone our crafts on our own nickel and truthfully, just hope it pays off because sometimes it doesn't.
Mechanics buy their own tools usually. I did autobody work for years before I just lost interest in it, but before anyone would even hire me I first had to learn how to do the work and then buy my tools and even then it quite often didn't pay off. There were schools and all, but few employers are willing to pay some guy to go to PPG's autobody painting school so for the most part you learn on your own and buy your own tools so that if the shop you work for goes tits up you're not stuck with no way to make a living..
